NEW

All about love, death, and cryonic preservation.

NEW tells the story of an elderly couple who are cryonically preserved (chilled to sub-zero temperature) at the time of their deaths. They awaken centuries later, their health – and youth – totally restored. Together, they face the joys and challenges of a second life in the distant future.

There aren’t many science fiction movies made for grown-ups. So, I made one. Principal photography on our ambitious short film wrapped in August 2013. Before production even began, NEW had already won one prize: a prose adaptation of my script won 1st place in the Redwood Writer’s Group 2012 science fiction short-story competition.

NEW couldn’t have been made without generous help from family, friends and strangers. It’s worth checking out the original crowdfunding pageshere, andhere to learn more about how NEW came to be. In particular, look at the updates pages for behind-the-scenes photos and details on our production.
